Oh yea!! Welcome to the swap judith! Thank you for the compliment too. They are just hand guided satin stitched but the best I can do. (So far) I should get some good practice in on these blocks. LOL...

Here is my first set of 9 1/2" blocks. They are pretty high heels embroidered on my machine and then bordered with my favorite color pink! The stripes go sideways on half and up and down on the other. Couldn't make up my mind wich I liked best. LOL!

We are watching it like a hawk. I have a couple of designs that will be fabulous on this swap and I know of some fabric, flowers of course because I love those, that will be just perfect to embelish the blocks with. But to focus on task at hand first. Then fun later.
